For even the hardy mountain people who share the rugged Himalayas with the cat, rarely see it. Wildlife Highlights: Snow Leopard, Wolf, Red Fox, Asiatic Ibex, Blue Sheep, Urial, Bearded Vulture, Himalayan Griffon, Golden Eagles, Solitary Snipe, Robin Accentor, Tibetan Snowcock, Himalayan Snowcock, White-winged Grosbeak, Rock Bunting, Chukar Partridge, Eurasian Magpie, Red-billed Chough, Yellow-billed Chough and many others.

The tour is grand in duration (about 3 weeks), allowing you to find the most interesting and charismatic species of Indian wildlife on a tour of India like you never imagined. India is more than its culture; its natural heritage pre-dates the beautiful and important cultural history of India. Here, the Royal Bengal Tiger, Indian Elephant, Greater One Horned Rhino, Leopard, and Asiatic Lion live amongst the Indian populace.
